ok so i've pretty much kept every sketchbook i've had since elementary school, so whenever i'm at home i like going through my old sketchbooks and redrawing things from them, because improvement is fun, and this time i found a whole bunch of my old zim OCs. HOO BOY. @ _ @

honestly there were more than these, but these guys were the only ones i was attached to enough to want to update haha..... also a bunch of the other ones were super boring design-wise and were only notable for being like. canon/oc offspring or some awful thing like that. god.

anyway i do like how they turned out now that they're actually respectable haha, but i highly doubt i'm going to want to actually use them for anything again, so.....

I was thinking maybe I'd put them up for a sort of limited adoption? mostly i expect they're just going to sit here and look nice and be a good reminder of how much my character design has improved, but on the off chance anyone is interested enough......

---------

If anyone does want to adopt one:

they're free to take! BUT: you have to have been watching me (at least since before I uploaded this) first.

and of course you have to let me know you're interested, you can't just. take them.

other than what's on the picture and anything implied by their designs, they're blank slates! no names, ages, genders, no nothing.

i think i'm going to hang onto the one in the top right, or at least be really picky about anyone who wants to adopt them, sorry.

oh also you totally don't need to draw the sensory pits/scales/weird fingers or anything, that's just how i draw my irkens. if you don't draw irkens with any of those things, you can just leave them out.

i really really like number six and i was wondering if it was okay if i could have them? i mean. i'm not sure if there's anything specific you'd want me to do with em but i honestly love their design so i figured it wouldn't hurt to ask and shit

sure! and there's really nothing in particular i'd want from these guys (i mean, i'd like to see them around, just nothing specific), i'm just happy to see them finally get some use after years mouldering in my old sketchbooks!

Eh, just being nosey, but since you're keeping no. 4 do you have a job in mind for em? The outfit's really interesting. All your outfits are so cool gahhh you design them so well Is ey a scout of some sort?

the reason i'm so reluctant to let go there is because 4 was my very first OC (and uh, also my self insert, even though they were never anything even remotely like me). i might part with them at some point but im not ready for that yet, haha....

also i just picked out a pilot uniform for them, so idk, maybe they'd be a fighter pilot?

Ohgosh these are all amazing, seriously, give me your powers of outfit design right now, I cannot evenI especially love the 2nd one's... eye thing. I dunno what it's for, or what it does, but it looks awesome. And the first one on the second row, oh yes. And the one next to that...Heck, I can't choose a favorite ghhhh y u so awesome

ahhh i'm sorry but you didn't start watching me until after I uploaded this (not that i'm not grateful or anything but) - it does say in the description that you had to have been watching since before I uploaded it.

eh... both and neither? these are all redesigns of old OCs I made years ago, which i'm still attached to (even if they all have really embarrassing origin stories); anyway, the point is i didn't originally create these with the intent to adopt them out, so when i decided i'd rather see them get used than sit in my gallery forever, i wanted to narrow the pool a little, at least to my watchers.

I added the thing about watching me before this because I didn't want people to watch me just for a grab at these guys, especially because they're free. not that i think that's what you're doing! that was just my thought process here.

ahahaha oh my god, you really don't want to know. it was the typical self insert OC sort of stuff - over-the-top antennae, pasted on animal parts, hair for no reason..... not all on the same character, thank god, but. yeah.

LEEI AM HELPLESSLY ROLLING HERE II THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH THAT THIRD ONE asldkmasd I try so hard to not get adoptables but oh man I-That third one on the top row is to cute, the clothes and the body shape I can't even handle it. AND THEY'RE BLIND I'm dying. My want is exploding

Seriously Wahhh Thank you!! Jesus they're a cutie I will take good care of them!<3

I would have taken them all and held them to my chest and coo'd at them. I really love the clothing designs you make, and your style makes everything so appealing. It's hard to say no to them, LOOKIT THOSE FACES alsdkmasmdsalk //keyboard mash
